—------------------—
Xue Tianxing immediately spread out the letter paper and picked up the pen to write a letter.
The letter first expressed respect for Ning Fengzhi, then frankly stated Ning Rongrong's desire to stay in Barak Academy, and finally made a major promise - he had a magic herb that could help Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial spirit evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, on the condition that Ning Rongrong was allowed to join Barak Academy.
After finishing writing, Xue Tianxing checked it carefully, sealed it, and handed it to his trusted guard, ordering him to deliver it to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect immediately.
The next morning, the atmosphere in the meeting hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was solemn and dignified.
Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat, with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong sitting on either side. The three of them focused their eyes on the letter from the Barak Kingdom on the table.
As soon as the guard delivered the letter, Ning Fengzhi couldn't wait to open it and read it. The more he read, the more solemn his expression became. After reading it, he handed the letter to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
The two of them quickly finished browsing, and the hall fell into a brief silence.
Ning Fengzhi spoke first, his tone hesitant:
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what do you think? Xue Tianxing said he could evolve Rongrong's spirit into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. It's too tempting, but it also means we might have to give up some of our interests in the Tiandou Empire, and it might even arouse the suspicion of Emperor Xue Ye."
Sword Douluo put down the letter and said with a firm look in his eyes:
"Feng Zhi, I think it's worth it! Rongrong has been close to Xue Tianxing and the others since she was young. Staying at Barak Academy and practicing with her friends is beneficial to her growth.
Our previous opposition was simply out of concern for the sect's interests. But if what Xue Tianxing said is true, and Rongrong's spirit can evolve into a Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, it would be a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect!
The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda's support capabilities far surpass those of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. Rongrong's future growth will be enough to elevate our sect's strength to a higher level. Even if we lose some short-term benefits, what's the harm?"
Bone Douluo also nodded repeatedly and echoed:
"Swordsman is right! What the Heaven Dou Empire can give us is nothing more than convenient trade routes and resources, but these are nothing compared to the strengthening of the sect's foundation.
As long as Rongrong's martial spirit can evolve, the status of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will be more stable. Even if we temporarily offend the Tiandou royal family, with Swordsman and I here, they won't dare to attack us easily.
Furthermore, Xue Tianxing is a gifted child, and the future potential of the Barak Kingdom is limitless. Binding them early on will also be beneficial to the long-term development of our sect."
Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought after hearing this.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, weighing the pros and cons in his mind:
On one side are the existing stable interests of the Tiandou Empire, and on the other side is the unique opportunity for the evolution of his daughter's martial soul and the future potential of the Barak Kingdom.
As the sect leader, he must consider the long-term development of the sect.
The temptation of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower is too great. Once successful, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will completely get rid of its dependence on the Tiandou Empire and may even become the number one sect on the continent.
After a moment, Ning Fengzhi suddenly raised his head, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes:
"Okay! It's settled!"
As long as Xue Tianxing can really make Rongrong's martial soul evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, let alone giving up some of the benefits, even if it requires us to pay a higher price, I will agree!
Rongrong's future is the future of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"
He immediately summoned the guards and ordered:
"Immediately write back to Xue Tianxing and tell him that as long as he can successfully evolve Rongrong's martial spirit, not only will I agree to Rongrong's admission to Barak Academy, but the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will also fully support the rise of the Barak Kingdom in the future. Whether it's allocating resources or coordinating connections, we will do our utmost to help!"
The guards took orders and left, and the atmosphere in the hall finally relaxed.
Sword Douluo smiled slightly, "This way, Rongrong should be happy too."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded:
"Yes, I hope that kid Xue Tianxing didn't lie to us. If Rongrong can really possess the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the glory of our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will continue for another hundred years!"
At this moment in the Barak Palace, Xue Tianxing was anxiously waiting for a reply.
When he received Ning Fengzhi's reply, a happy smile instantly appeared on his face.
He knew that he had not only successfully retained Ning Rongrong, but also won the powerful ally of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for the Barak Kingdom.
Next, as long as Ning Rongrong is helped to complete the evolution of her martial soul, the road to the rise of the Barak Kingdom will be smoother.
Xue Tianxing immediately asked someone to call Ning Rongrong and told her the good news.
After hearing this, Ning Rongrong jumped up excitedly, hugged Shui Yue'er's arm and cheered:
"Great! Brother Tianxing, thank you! I can finally practice with you!"
Seeing Ning Rongrong cheering, Xue Tianxing's smile became more gentle. He patted Ning Rongrong on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Rongrong, haven't you always been curious about why our cultivation speed is so fast? Now, I can tell you the answer."
"Really?!"
Ning Rongrong stopped cheering instantly, her eyes widened, her face full of surprise and anticipation.
She clearly remembered that when she came to the Barak Kingdom to play a few years ago, Shui Yue'er's soul power was only that of a twenty-first-level great soul master, but when she visited again just one month later, Shui Yue'er's soul power soared directly to the twenty-eighth level!
Such a speed of improvement is impossible even in the resource-rich Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Since then, she has been pestering Xue Tianxing and Shui Binger to ask the reason, but they always smiled and changed the subject and never gave a direct answer.
Now that she finally knows the truth, how can she not be excited?
Xue Tianxing nodded, turned around and took out an exquisite white jade box from the storage ring.
The box was cold to the touch and was carved with intricate patterns, making it obvious that it was no ordinary item.
He gently opened the jade box, and a clear and unique fragrance instantly spread out. This fragrance was different from the fragrance of any flowers and plants. After inhaling it into the nose, people could feel their soul power faintly restless.
In the jade box, there lies a snow-white flower quietly, with petals stacked up like a tulip, but with a more holy aura than ordinary tulips. The edges of the petals glow with a faint golden light, and a crystal dewdrop condenses on the pistil. It is obvious that it is an extremely rare treasure from heaven and earth.
"Rongrong, this magical herb is called 'Qiluo Tulip'. I picked it especially for you."
Xue Tianxing's tone was somewhat serious. "It will not only greatly enhance your soul power, but it will also completely transform the foundation of your martial soul. I can guarantee that as long as you successfully absorb it, your Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda will definitely evolve into a Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda."
"Nine Treasures Glazed Tower?!"
Ning Rongrong widened her eyes and looked at the magical grass in the jade box in disbelief, her hands trembling slightly.
